I am a fifth year Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at the University of Rochester. I am interested in tangible and ubiquitous computing, and the role that sensors and machine learning can play in understanding human interaction. You can find my CV here.

I love participating in hackathons, taking film photos and pretending to post regularly on a blog.
